Sr Configuration Analyst​/Manager, Mechanical Engineering, Configuration Management

Job :  | Amazon Kuiper Manufacturing Enterprises LLC

Amazon Leo is Amazon's low Earth orbit satellite network. Our mission is to deliver fast, reliable internet connectivity to customers beyond the reach of existing networks. From individual households to schools, hospitals, businesses, and government agencies, Amazon Leo will serve people and organizations operating in locations without reliable connectivity.

We are seeking an experienced Configuration Change Analyst/Manager with deep expertise in Configuration Management and Systems Engineering to join the Engineering Practice & Configuration Management team. This is a highly technical engineering role requiring hands-on experience with integrated hardware development programs and a strong appreciation for complex satellite systems architecture. You will carry direct responsibility for engineering change analysis across system and subsystem design, ensuring alignment of changes with technical design, interface specifications, requirements, and programmatic schedule, cost, and production constraints.

You will perform impact analysis across the full satellite system—spanning satellite bus, payload, electrical engineering, phased array antenna, radio frequency, and structural subsystems—and maintain configuration baselines across multiple vehicle configurations and evolving product lines.

This role requires someone who has established data hierarchies and structures for aerospace systems, understands the physical architecture of spacecraft, and can translate complex change impacts into data-driven technical packages for leadership decision-making. You will tackle challenging, novel situations every day and collaborate with multiple technical and production manufacturing teams across Amazon locations. You should be comfortable with a high degree of ambiguity and energized by the opportunity to solve problems that have not been solved at this scale before.

• Configuration Baseline Management:
  Manage and maintain the configuration management baseline for the entire satellite across multiple vehicle configurations and evolving product lines; enforce configuration identification, change accounting, and configuration status accounting disciplines.
• Engineering Change Analysis:
  Perform comprehensive impact analysis across satellite and aerospace systems for all engineering change proposals; assess impacts to technical design, interface specifications (Physical, Informational, and Operational ICDs), requirements, schedule, cost, and production.
• Business Requirements & Process Governance:
  Own the definition and maintenance of business requirements and process documentation (QSD standards) for Engineering Change Control—ensuring change workflows, classification logic, and approval processes are codified, enforceable, and aligned with the Leo Space Engineering Application Platform and Teamcenter
• Data Hierarchy & Structure:
  Establish and maintain data hierarchies and structures for aerospace systems with multiple evolving product lines; ensure as-designed, as-built, and as-tested configurations are accurately captured and traceable through the PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) toolchain.
• Change Control Board:
  Lead the Change Control Board (CCB) and Leo Space Platform impact assessment mechanisms; manage analysis, dependencies, and deliverables for all change categories across engineering…
